Speaker 1 (01:41):
You know what, before you get going, Yeah, I just
want to make sure I let you guys know, there
might be something that I bet you're not thinking about
or not thinking about it at all.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Q you ready for this? Jump? You're ready for this.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
All the professional football fields you use artificial turf, no
big deal?

Speaker 5 (01:57):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Well, wrong, because cannot be recycled, guys, I don't know
if you knew that. Yeah, can be recycled, which means
it leaves behind an enormous amount of landfill each year.
Turf is also proven to increase the risk of player
injury as opposed to real grass fields. You know, just
thought I break this down for y'all. Right, I'm talking

(02:20):
about sixty nine percent more non contact foot and ankle injuries.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
WHOA, that's a new one right there.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Now, all right, and you got to understand, like the
impact of turf on a guy's career, not just during
his career, but post career. I mean, think about how
your body feels after all of those injuries that you
take while you're playing. So I just wanted to let
you guys know you needed to check this out. American
grass sea company Pennington has set out on a mission
along with pro football players to ban turf fields with

(02:49):
their hashtag flip the Turf movement. All right, personally, I
think it's great. We know turf causes more injuries and
hurts the environment, So protect the injury. Excuse me, protect
the players from getting those injuries, and let's protect our
environment as well. You know, let's flip over to some regular,
real grass turf and you know what, Yeah, you know

(03:10):
what I mean. And so make sure you go to
Pennington dot com slash flip the turf to learn more
and sign the petition. That's Pennington dot com slash flip
the turf. Hell yeah, yeah, flip that turf. Yeah, flip
that like like that limbo stick, like yeah yeah, flip it.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Cheery read.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
By the way, Lee just texted me and said, I'll
bet I'll bet there's no way.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
LaVar can do that again at the end of the segment.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
I bet he can.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
He's trying to call you out and shout I'm not
doing it at the end of the segment. I just
figured I'll do it at the beginning.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Yeah, that's a radio for.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
When we send that in. Just send it. You just
got it, Send it in. He got it, got it,
We got it. You ever see that.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
You ever seen the Dan Marino clip where he's recording
a spot and he gets so frustrated and they're like,
you want to hear it back.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Nope, send it in.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
We gotta find that least if you can find that,
we got to edit it. It's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Oh that was a good read.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
It was.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
It was organic. Yeah, I kind of figured it needed
to be at the end of the second. I just
figured I'll just get it out of the way.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
So I forget. He flipped like a UI.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I mean, I ain't want all that I want all
that pressure on me. So I spun at you. He
lost my upcap cherry red.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
So Lee's faces cherry red.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
He's clipping it right now, like, oh my gosh, you
did it.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
I'll be honest with you, man. That's the thing with
LeVar It is like you just never know, you never
know what to expect. Man, keep showing your toes, right.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Stay on them. I keep myself on my toes. If
I'm gonna keep my own self on my toes, I
know what's going to happen for everybody else, you know.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Well, Cherry Brad, by the way, there's a rat in
the NFL. Uh oh, we got a rat or a snake,
a cheese eater, WHOA a bottom feeder?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Whoa? Oh yeah, a rat? You know who it is? Who?

Speaker 6 (05:17):
Sports books online sports books that are tracking the activity
of players who may or may not be gambling inside
the team facility. And that's why these guys have popped
up and then been popped themselves for gambling on either
the NFL or on college football. Is the case of
Jamison Williams. So you've got the Lions players, you had

(05:41):
a guy from Washington, you had Lions staffers. You obviously
had Calvin Ridley and the NFLPA send an email to
all the agents around the NFL letting them know that
this is how this stuff is being found out, that
players are gambling inside the team facility and they're being
tracked via these online sports books. We've got a rat

(06:03):
a rat in the NFL, and to see gambling sports
books online, given their online sports books a little bit
of business, and they got to out these guys for
betting on college football to disgrace, absolute disgrace, my.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Cherry, my Goshaetic.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
I mean, look, here's how this has to work, all right.

Speaker 7 (06:35):
The NFL knows and this is this stands for every
other professional sports league that as as state by state
as they implement some form of sports gambling, professional gambling,
and it's tied into the revenue streams of all these
professional sports. They understand that that is like their next

(06:57):
golden goose. That is the next direction where they will
get the majority of the revenue that's coming in for
their teams, for their leagues. It's going to come from gambling.
All right, We've got the TV rights that's peaked. We're
at an odd time in regards to consumption of television, streaming,

(07:17):
et cetera, where you've got cord cutting that impacts the
cable business and everyone's trying to kind of figure out
where this is going in the future. But you know,
they're streaming now that's becoming a much bigger.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Piece of it.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
But you know, the streaming is not necessarily ready to
have live events, but it will be at some point.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
So we're all kind of pushing towards this this this.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
Space where we don't necessarily know. But one thing we
know for sure is when gambling becomes legalized state by.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
State is it's huge.

Speaker 7 (07:51):
I mean, what was the state of Ohio if I'm
not mistaken, Jonas quote me on this, when it became
legal January one, It was crushed. It was like the
second biggest in the country. Yeah, so you can imagine
as this continues to roll out throughout our country. That
is what every league, every sports team's looking at saying,
these are gonna be our sponsors.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
These are gonna be people who are helping.

Speaker 7 (08:15):
To infuse our league with capital and allow us to
to keep appreciating over time.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
And so if that's the case, you can't do the one.

Speaker 7 (08:24):
Thing that's gonna ruin it for all involved, and that's
breaking the trust of those who are placed in the bets.
And how does that happen, Well, you have professional players
who are rigging games, who are betting on games and
finding a way of trying to pad their pockets.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
In other ways.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
And so if that happens, you lose the trust of
the betters, the gamblers, right, they're not laying bets anymore,
And you lose the trust of the fans because they're
not gonna watch when they feel like the league is riged.
They're not gonna buy tickets, not gonna buy merchise. It's
not gonna buy any of that. And so you know,
you have to find a way of regulating it and
having to have a partnership between the sports book and
the and the leagues to make sure everything's on the

(09:04):
up and up, and none of these players and these
coaches and anyone involved is a part of that. To
be able to be able to lease on the service,
keep it as clean as possible. And I know people
are always gonna say, well, hey, they can just have
a bookie and they can go that's always going to
be the case, though it's always has been the case,
always will be the case if they want to do
something illegal and they want to go behind someone's back,

(09:24):
and that goes for a lot of things in this country.
Really in the world, you could probably do that, but
at least as it looks, you know, on the surface,
the sports books, the professional sports teams, they have to
do their best to work in unison to make sure
you don't you don't see a bunch of gambling and
issues from a lot of the athletes that are involved.

Speaker 6 (09:44):
And it only takes one guy who does go over
the top, like Calvin Ridley did a couple of seven
game parlays, which are you know, I mean, that's that's
a rookie betting move. Anyways, that's Oh, I'm just going
to bet on this and this and this, Jamis and
Williams bet on college football. You know, we don't know
this specifics of these bets. It could have been a
prop bet. Hey, the Cowboys kicker is going to miss
this next kick, let me do a live bet on it,

(10:05):
like it could have been something like that. But it
only takes one that really does impact or at least
the notion that had impacted something. Case in point, Tim Donaghy,
I believe that there are still people who watch the
NBA who don't think it's on the up and up
when it goes to officiating. I still believe there are
people that look at the NBA and go, no, no, no,

(10:28):
something must be going on here. I forget who's the official,
Who's who's got this record against Chris Paul. I forget
the guy's name, but Chris, Like the Suns finally won
a game, and this guy, you know and was the
official there for the Chris Paul game. And it felt like,
let's go live to Eddie Garcia's got the latest on
a an official who might be gambling on Chris Paul games,
Eddie Scott Foster. Yes, Scott Foster, that's the guy. So like,

(10:51):
it only takes one player to give a bad reputation
or to give a bad look or a bad optic
towards the league, and then everybody starts to think, well,
you know, maybe it's not not on the app and op,
maybe there's something. There's something fugazy going on with the NFL.
My question is.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
LeVar, I mean, do you feel like something is fugazy?
I mean Jonas used the words that you're you're a
minister of fugazy.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Well, hole, pas any judgments on the league?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Got the boy you showed us at fugazy yesterday.

Speaker 7 (11:24):
I want to see more Fez or was it for gazy?

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Oh wow?

Speaker 5 (11:34):
I mean you studied the fgazy?

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Oh wow?

Speaker 5 (11:37):
You did?

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Guilty? Is charge.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
I did.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I had to double check, like to see what really
was because if the reaction was just go with it,
you know that says a lot. You should really make
a teleprompter about it, like when John Madden used to
draw the characters like, right, here's that fact into that acting.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (12:06):
But let me let me ask you as this, if
you were, if you were, if you were still deserve.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
That that start a bad athletes foot.

Speaker 6 (12:18):
If you were, if you were the NFL and you
were this concerned about it, knowing that you're entering the
space and the potential of money and revenue that could
come in. As Brady pointed out, if you were the NFL,
wouldn't you figure out a way to child proof this

(12:38):
or do something along those lines to where you make
it impossible for any NFL player to gamble from their
phone inside the team facility. Like I had a buddy
who came out here to California and he tried to
use a sportsbook online that he used back home, and
he can't use it because the location identifies that you're

(12:59):
in a place that it's prohibited.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
If you're the.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
Well, why don't you geo fence it or whatever? For
these players so you don't even give them the option.
If you're this concerned about it, why they can't figure
out another way to make this happen other than leaving
it in the hands of the players who clearly already
have made some mistakes and are getting suspended for it.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
My whole thing is is, if you're a player, why
don't you just if you are a part of well,
I don't know. I just feel like, just have somebody
else do it, Like, what are you placing the bet for?
Just have somebody else do it. Find a runner, somebody
else do it. Yeah, Like why are you even associated
with it? Like that just seems egotistical, Like that just

(13:39):
seems like that's just like.

Speaker 5 (13:40):
You're saying you need a fall guy.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yes, me, every guy's got to have a fall guy.
When you go out.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
You gotta make sure you got a crew, Like you
gotta see, you got to pick them out before you
get into the car, before y'all go roll, and you
gotta say you right there, you tonight are the designated
fall guy.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
So if you go out with us, you have to
understand what rotating?

Speaker 5 (13:59):
Doesn't it?

Speaker 3 (14:00):
No, we just had we just.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Had one guy. Were like, all right, you gotta you
gotta take.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
You're the guy, and it was usually like somebody who
was a part of like they were like for me
when I was moving around like that and I was
like a heathen in life.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
I had a U. S Marshal. That was my fall guy.
What absolutely you want.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
To You want to know you're gonna plan it on
a US Marshal?

Speaker 3 (14:24):
You want to know?

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Well, the point is is that there's no fall. There's
no fall at all when you have a US Marshall Jones.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Doghouse.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
I'm picturing Tommy Lee Jones wasn't a US Marshall.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Was would hunt your ass down to That's.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
What I'm picturing though, was that basically who your un No,
there was.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Two of them. One one was the lead man.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Like he made sure like if we were going to
like a club or anything like that, Like the security
was what it was supposed to be. We knew what
the exits were and you were allowed to have access
to those.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
Access to the back door.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, got like that's you're laughing, But that's on on
everything and even even the side doors. Trust me, I know,
stuff gets to popping off sometimes. That front door is
not easy to get to. Yeah, done that. Yeah, and
they should be. They should be. They should be in
coordination with the place the venue that you're going to

(15:26):
to make sure that you don't have to waste any
time even having that discussion.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Right, it's time.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
You need to get to the back door.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
You get to the back So when a marshal comes
up to you and he tells you that, you know,
it's it's received differently than if your fall guy, Like
you know you have a badge, yes, and a gun and.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Can use it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Like.

Speaker 7 (15:48):
Mars it's like they're a I mean a crazy profession.
I feel like for all the other law enforcement you
know and hear about, you don't hear quite as much
about us marshals.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah. I in DC, man, So you know that's first thing.
You know, my dad's military. He was in Walter Reed,
so he spent a lot of time in DC. He
he had a very large contingency of military dudes. I
was going into like private shooting ranges. I was shooting
guns that you couldn't even imagine, Like it blows away
call of duty, like like what the F is this?

(16:23):
And then they say fire and then you fire and
you go, what the bloody f is this? Like, why
is this? Why is this real? Like, you know what's crazy?
Have you ever shot a gun with a tracer? That
that's wild? Just saying it, that's that's pretty wild. A

(16:46):
tracer is that? That's that's pretty wild. Like Anyways, I've
had some pretty cool, cool experiences being in the nation's capital,
and one of them was my fall guy was a
US Marshal's I mean, that's something. And he knows who
he is and he's probably even listening to our show,
so shouts out to you.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Love you guy. It's a fall guy. Yeah, what's the
fall guy? He wasn't fallial, He wasn't gonna fall. He
wasn't going wobble wobble and almost fall down. He wasn't
gonna he had that thing on lock.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
What's up last fall guy?

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, and he was good with the ladies too. So
on top of that, he's like super super secure. He
was he wasn't looking out for the back doors. He's
walking out with you at the back Yeah, I mean
he wasn't picking them up, but he would deliver. And
I tell you that he's a great, great icebreaker guy.
He's a great ice breaker guy. He's a good looking

(17:38):
dude too. I mean, like I said, there was two
of them. One was more one was better looking than
the other one though, you know, the one was just
the muscle.

Speaker 8 (17:45):
You know.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Look guy.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, he had to play his part too. He was
the one that had to clear the like he you
know when it went on smash like he gonna clear
it out. We're going through here, We're gonna clear it out. Yeah, yeah,
we're gonna have to. Will have to clear it on out.
Tell me about it, man.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
Yeah, it's basically like Lee in the studio, which I've noticed,
by the way, Lee is not cleared out of studio
in any complaints about his flat is just too much.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Space, Like, I don't think he's got enough air inside
of him to be able to fill up the amount
of space.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
I'm holding back while I still can't.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
You know, I heard your diet's been a little different lately.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
No, there still a lot of red meat and it
has it done. What have you heard? Who'd you talk to?

Speaker 5 (18:38):
Less spicy food? Uh?

Speaker 9 (18:41):
That you might be right on that less spicy. I'm
still keeping spicy in the rotation. But I think I'm
just you know, once you break the seal, once I
break the seal, it'll it'll all come back.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Try to hold off on that. Who's your fall guy, Todd?

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
Though.

Speaker 7 (18:56):
You take Todd out, then you don't have a you
have a best friend to hang out with.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Well, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 9 (19:02):
I do blame Todd for sometimes stuff that other friends do.
Does that make sense, I'll go out with other guys.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
Because he's already head lady, So I'm not gonna burn
a bridge with somebody.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
This seems like a pretty lovable guy.

Speaker 7 (19:17):
Like if Todd was your fall guy, he's the guy
you can blame things on because people are like, oh,
that's just Todd.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
I love Todd. That's just Todd.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
That's what's gonna happen. That comes with the territory, big
fan of Todd.

you go down the slopes. Sometimes it was manufactured snow
every once in a while. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't like
the natural. Yeah, you don't want that artificial stuff. Yeah,
I just said that artificial You did need that artificial stuff.

(22:43):
And you know what, like my guy, Damn Marino, I'm
going to do my best to give you a read
here and not flub it.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
So here we go.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Did you know that artificial turf on fields causes thirty
two percent more non contact knee injuries? That was a
question American. I see company Pennington. They want you to
know that they're on a mission to ban turf fields.
With their hashtag flip the turf movement. I just thought
i'd let that sink in, guys, So go to Pennington

(23:12):
dot com slash Flip the Turf now to learn more
and sign the petition for teams to hashtag flip the
Turf to real grass.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
So I'm talking about that.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Stuck that welln yeah, you know, I know q's Mary too,
to a former gymnast, extraordinary, like I just wanted to
make sure I stuck that landing. Yeah up, put my
arms up in ten. I put my arms up in
the ten ASQ ten as Q two pros and a

(23:49):
cup of Joe. Here on FSR coming up in a
little over twelve minutes from now here from those Tireraq
dot com studios, we are gonna have another edition of
would you Rather Hear a Tuesday Tradition on FSR. So, uh,
we've got the NHL playoffs that are currently going on.
We're going to get into the NBA stuff later on.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
But this is interesting because the Panthers and the Maple Leafs,
Brady Quinn's Florida Panthers and the Maple Leaves get going
later on tonight. That is game one of this second
matchup and go Kiss. Games three and four are going
to be back in Florida. And apparently they would really
like to have some sort of a home iice advantage,

(24:27):
so much so that they are putting this in are
the Florida Panthers quote Florida Live Arena is located in Sunshine, Florida.
Sales to this event will be restricted to residents of
the United States. Residency will be based off credit card billing.
Addressed orders by residents outside the United States will be
canceled without notice and refunds. Given what the f Brady Quinn,

(24:51):
our Canadian friends can't come and enjoy a game in Florida.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Maybe they want to get out of the cold.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
What's going on? Take that, Canada? Take that justin Trudeau's
going to work right.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
Yeah, I don't know that it's going too.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
So here's the interesting thing about the Florida Panthers who.

Speaker 7 (25:08):
Now play out the FLA. The I believe it's the
Florida Live Arena is what it's called it. He used
to be called something else. That's irrelevant. They have one
of the lowest average attendances in the league. I think
they average around sixteen thousand, like seven hundred folks who
come out during the season. And as I've said before,
if you actually look up over the past.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
You know, all three, four or five years.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
They've gotten better, the team has and there's been more
of a I think it's sort of an effort at
supporting the team. But you also still get a fair
amount of the away teams fans coming in. Florida's a
very diverse area in regards to kind of fandom, right,
a very transient place. So there's not a lot of

(25:51):
locals who are rooting for the local sports teams. You
don't get a lot of New Yorkers, Boston, Philly, a
lot of East Coast influence, you know, a little bit
from the Midwest too, so you get and then obviously Canada.
You know, you get a lot of people who come
down from Canada to vacation. And the reason why we
know they're down here at that point in time of
the year because they're awful drivers, all right, terrible drivers.

(26:15):
And you see all these Canadian license plates from Ontario,
Providence of Ontario, Quebec, all these different license plates, and
they're awful drivers.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
They have no idea what they're doing when they are
on the roads.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
And so that's when you know there's a bunch of
Canadian folks who have decided to come down.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
But I digress.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
The point is is they come down and they support
their hockey teams. So if I was to tell you
the Florida Panthers during the course of the regular season,
the Cats, they were like bottom five or six in
the league in attendance. But do you know who had
the highest average so far over these Stanley Cup playoffs?

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Can I guess? You can guess the Florida Panthers.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
That's right, the Cats.

Speaker 7 (26:56):
The Cats had the highest average of any NHL team.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Wow, that would lead you to.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
Say, well, there you go, like this is just a
front running fan base, right. It's the Florida Panthers. They're winning,
so then the fans want to come out. Might be
due to the fact that you had them paying the
Boston Bruins. And there happens to be a heavy influence
too of Boston Bruins fans who live in South Florida.
So that's what the Panthers are trying to protect against.

(27:24):
They witnessed it playing against the Bruins. They would definitely
see it again with most of the Canadian folks who
still want to hang down here a little longer into
the month of May, before they go back up to Canada.
They want to they want to root on their maple leafs,
So they're trying to protect against this. It's probably not
going to be effective, but I hope it is because
at least driving out to the arena will be would

(27:46):
be better so we don't have to deal with the
awful Canadian drivers that are on the road.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
But does she think of today's climate financially, You'll take
whatever you can get.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
No, because they will. They'll still pack out that arena.

Speaker 7 (28:00):
There will be a ton of people who do want
to go watch the Panthers play. I mean every time
they make the playoffs, that place sells out. So I
don't I don't doubt that they'll have a They won't
have a hard time, you know, selling out the arena.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
It's just who's going to be packing that arena.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
They still throw rats on the ice, No don't.

Speaker 7 (28:18):
I don't think they've done that in a long time.
I know that was back when the arena used to
be down in Miami.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
John sure infatuation with rats, man to dress, want to
make a living?

Speaker 3 (28:30):
What do you expect so you relate to it.

Speaker 7 (28:32):
I still think your game was you did that knowing
it'd be a great story in the future when you
eventually started doing rating.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I agree, definitely not, I totally agree.

Speaker 7 (28:43):
And I'm not even sure it's true. Like I think
Jonas has a lot of a bs in them.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
All the things I could make up. I made up
a story about being the rat at checking James.

Speaker 7 (28:54):
Here's here's why. Who can verify it? You were in
a costume. No one sees your face pictures like, where's
a picture and record at Chucky Cheese?

Speaker 5 (29:05):
Like we even look up your employment there.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yeah, I think I might have a picture working at
Chuck E Cheese, not in the costume, but not in
a picture.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
You know, he's a picture but not in the cost
He's gonna send.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Okay, does doesn't this look like?

Speaker 7 (29:21):
That?

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Doesn't look like me in a picture there? It doesn't. Nope,
I just want to send in the text chat.

Speaker 7 (29:27):
I don't need that on my phone going to do it.
I don't need that. Well, he was making a gesture,
I promise I know he was. I know exactly what
Jonas is doing right now.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
Yeah. Well, there's a better chance.

Speaker 7 (29:38):
You're the security guard for the Los Angeles charges back
when they're in San Diego.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
I'm telling you if lead to lap, that is a
task you need to take in. You need to find
that charge of security guard. We've got several.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
Questions, several questions indeed, and I don't want to hear
him say no, no, the time slot doesn't work for me. Hey, buddy,
you're not calling the shots anymore after your be behavior
on the sidelines years ago, you chased away a football
team because you couldn't find some loose change in your
front right pocket and so his pocket. Mm hm, the

(30:13):
old dunk and yo yo's remember those were happening to
yo yo by the way, underrated toy.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
It is underrated.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
I kind of think of the thing, whether it was
the ball attached the string on the paddle.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Oh is that just paddle ball?

Speaker 5 (30:26):
Is that what's called?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
I think it is called paddle ball?

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Yeah, that's what it looked like.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Yeah, Yeah, those are some a little I was thinking
about right now. What do you mean? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (30:39):
What are you looking at?

Speaker 3 (30:39):
That wasn't the weather?

Speaker 5 (30:40):
We were?

Speaker 1 (30:41):
We were, you know, getting updated on sports, sports, sports,
some good sports stories on this morning.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Yeah there are. It is two pros and a cup
of Joe here on sports radio.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Being informed that the rats still do happen?

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Oh wow, Okay, I've never.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Seen them at a Florida Panthers him yet.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
So, Eddie Garcia, are the hold of them at the game?

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Are they allowed to throw plastic rats on the ice
Panthers games, Well, they're not.

Speaker 11 (31:10):
I don't know that they're allowed to do it, but
I mean back in the day when that was a thing,
they would literally throw hundreds and hundreds of plastic rats
on the ice. They don't do that anymore, but there
will be a couple two or three get thrown out
there after a goal.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
There's some people that do it.

Speaker 7 (31:26):
Someone just informed that the last one they went to
they did it. Like I said, I've never been to
one where they did do that.

Speaker 5 (31:32):
But you know, maybe they do.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
I'd love to know how it started.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Well if probably started with chucky cheese, right, EDDI great points. Now.

Speaker 11 (31:40):
I was a player named Scott Mellanbie killed a rat
with a slap shot in the bowels of the arena,
and word got out in the Yeah there was a rat,
you know, shot shot at the rat. He hit the rat,
shoot a pucket slap shot the rat.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
Has the pot. Okay, I was like, that's a great actress.

Speaker 6 (32:06):
Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna say that would
be like at the.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
All Star Game, who needs to sling rock?

Speaker 11 (32:14):
I remember back in the day they had like Orcan
was the sponsor for it, Like the cleanup crew to
run out there and they'd have like their little uniforms
on and they were picking up the plastic rats.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
I didn't know that sponsorship for it. I didn't know that.
That's why it was called that the rat trick. That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
I mean, that's pretty brilliant. You have orchid men running.
I used to get that's that's that's pretty dope marketing
right there.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
I gotta get you props there. Ye go Catts. It is.

Speaker 11 (32:45):
The NHL was like, yeah, we can't be delaying the
game twenty minutes every time you guys scored.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
I don't know, it's pretty entertaining when I think about
that again.

Speaker 11 (32:55):
The opposing goalie would like hide in his net just knocking.

Speaker 6 (32:59):
Yeah, yeah, you can watch you just duck into his net.
I remember that, yeah, because I remember they beat the
Penguins in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
We had to get in his net.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
I think it might have been Ken Reggitt who was
in goal, and I just remember him having to sit there.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yeah, it was Florida Panthers.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
Hey, Eddie, tell me this much. Does Florida have any
shop Restronto? Oh?

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Absolutely kidding either.

Speaker 11 (33:27):
The Toronto media is already anointing them to go to
the Silicup final and they always choke. So they got
past the first round and so they're feeling great and
they're like, oh, we didn't have to play Boston. This
is the shoe and now I could see them blowing it.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Yeah, that would be fun series.
